A garden city
The phrase “Ma ville est un jardin” captures the close relationship between Menton and its botanical heritage. Villas, parks, citrus gardens and historic estates form a continuous landscape linking architecture, memory and place.

MA VILLE EST UN JARDIN
In Menton, gardens are not just decoration: they are part of the city’s identity. Climate, hills, light and the legacy of botanists, collectors and villa owners created an exceptional planted landscape.
Menton’s great gardens
Serre de la Madone, Val Rahmeh, Maria Serena, Fontana Rosa, Clos du Peyronnet, Colombières and the gardens of Palais de Carnolès each tell a different story but share the same botanical vocation.
Citrus, climate and local identity
Menton’s planted landscape is inseparable from citrus. Lemon trees, orange trees and Mediterranean species have shaped the local economy, image and culture.
